## Caption

i moved to cleveland a year ago today. every new year i've shared a compilation of my photos because i'm really proud of my photography—but probably for the first time since i was in college, this past year i actually filmed more of my surroundings than photographed. being here pushed me to develop in an area i didn't feel confident in, and i'm really thankful for that.
so this isn't a 2022 reel (i don't even know how to make one of those & editing gives me hives i stg), i'm just considering it a journal entry for any time my imposter syndrome bugs me, and i need encouragement to just get better at my own pace.
 
i can see exactly how i want every photo to turn out in my head, and struggling with being a perfectionist has really stunted my growth in art— feeling like i shouldn't/couldn't share something because it just didn't look "right" or wouldn't fit into whatever trend was most popular. a lot of these clips aren't very good! but i look at them and see where i can improve this year, and more importantly i remember exactly how i felt at the very moment of every single of them. so finally that kind of excitement and comfort i've always found in photo, i'm starting to feel in video as well. i'm lucky to be surrounded by people who constantly help, support and give endless advice—this space can be so hard to grow in and feeling like i have friends i can go to for help has really change my perspective on creating and collaboration.

so i hope everyone makes a lot of art they're really proud of this year, and shares it with us, with me. i'm constantly in awe of how talented my peers are. don't let insecurities, intimidation, all these fancy effects etc., keep you from growing at whatever pace works for you. art will never rush you.
